So omit the kaslr-seed when kexecing with nokaslr.

The kexec'ed kernel can ignore bootargs with CONFIG_CMDLINE_FORCE. So
you don't know if kaslr-seed will be used or not.

You are correct. In addition, unlike the EFI Stub, Kexec is unable to
determine whether the kexec'ed kernel supports RANDOMIZE_BASE,
hence it is appropriate to emit the kaslr-seed unconditionally like
those out-of-linux bootloaders.

Apologies for bothering you with this incorrect patch.

Yet another copy of the same code. That's a clue to refactor into a
common function.
